Except that the license that accompanies the font says:

   COPYRIGHT AND ALL OTHER RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST
   IN THE SOFTWARE BELONGS TO THE BBC, ITS LICENSORS
   AND SUPPLIERS. THE BBC IS LICENSED BY ITS LICENSORS
   TO USE AND DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE ON ITS WEBSITE
   WWW.BBC.CO.UK ("THE WEBSITE") AND TO PERMIT YOU
   TO DOWNLOAD IT, COPY IT ON TO YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER
   AND USE IT FOR THE PURPOSES OF ACCESSING, VIEWING
   AND MAKING, FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE ONLY,
   ONE PRINT COPY OF THE HINDI LANGUAGE VERSION
   OF THE WEBSITE. OTHER THAN AS PROVIDED FOR IN
   THIS SECTION, YOU MAY NOT MAKE ANY USE WHATSOEVER
   OF THE SOFTWARE OR THE HINDIFONT.

I interpret this to mean one may not legitimately use this font for any
purpose other than viewing the BBC website.
